OpenJDK do not contain any of the code used by the closed-source java plugin to diplay the problematic popups. The openJDK community is unable to help you unless Oracle decide to opensource its deployment code and plugin. I suggest you to file a bug in the Oracle bugtracker. http://bugreport.sun.com/bugreport/ Cheers Xerxes
